Although I'm a bit concerned about how small it is, I think having three small Reflector bots is better than one deluxe Reflector.

The camera alt-mode just seals the deal.

A lot cheaper and a lot bigger. Cost is the factor, along with the new Generations/RTS figures being pretty damned good so far.

Here is a video with some scale images of Reflector from the G1 cartoon. Needless to say he is bigger. Hopefully it will not be too bad in person compared to a deluxe Starscream.

Yes they have been quite nice. But, you can only do so much with a slight retool and a new head sculpt. It will be a lot cheaper but to me the PE version is worth it. Hasbro's 1st and second attempt at Springer was a lot cheaper than the FP release but they didn't even compare. I think(hope) that is the case with this PE release. Hopefully it will be just as nice as Shadow Warrior was bc I love that little guy. Quality, rather than cost will be my biggest issue.

I love PerfectEffect's stuff. I've got their Rumble/Frenzy and Rosanna/Kingbat and love them both. And looks like their new offerings might find their way into my collection.

But Reflector's not high-priority for me. Not enough for me to buy this one from them. I hope you get him/enjoy him, but I'm sticking with Hasbro this time around.

Me too buddy. But to be honest, I'll probably get both lol

I'll use Hasbro's as someone else. Or maybe a generic character.
